                          Region V Fish Tissue Report
       Summary

       Fish tissue data are reported from all Region V States except for
       Ohio where no tissue data are presently available.  The time period
       of this report extends from the spring of 1983 through the fall of
       1985.  Data were obtained from a STORET printout for Illinois,
       Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota.  Wisconsin's data came from the
       State's own computer system.  The parameters listed in this report
       are chemicals with Food and Drug Administration action levels and
       include PCB's, DDT, dieldrin, mercury, and occasionally chlordane.

       In order to better understand the overall status of fish tissue
       problems for each State, the chart below gives an overview of the
       total number of fish samples analysed during the study period, the
       number of violations which occurred, and the percent of violations.
       A more detailed description of fish tissue violations per State is
       described in the body of the report.

                   Region V Fish Tissue Report

Introduction

In fulfillment of the requirements of the Guidance for State Water
Monitoring and Wasteland Allocation Programs (SPA 44014-85-031),
most Region V States are collecting and analyzing fish tissue from
designated core network stations as well as other selected stations
where toxic problems are suspected.  Upon completion of the labora-
tory analyses, the data are entered into the STORET system where it
becomes available for public use.  This generally takes 12 to 1.8
months to complete.

The objective of this report is to identify lakes (where possible)
and river reaches throughout Region V where toxic chemicals in fish
tissue exceed the recommended FDA action levels as shown on the
following page.  It should be pointed out that this is the only
document in the Region where fish tissue data that are generated as
part of the State Water Monitoring and Wasteload Allocation Program
is. brought together under one cover.  It therefore can serve as a
comprehensive reference to fish toxicity problems and needs for State,
Region, and Headquarters use.

All data, with the exception of Wisconsin and Ohio, were extracted
from a STORET printout.  Wisconsin's data was obtained from its own
computer system.  Ohio has not had a strong fish tissue analyses
program, and therefore no report is included since it has not
participated in the National program.  The time period of this  report
is from the spring of 1983 through the fall of 1985.

Although much fish tissue data are provided by the STORET system,
there still remains a significant amount that is being generated  by
state agencies, and is  contained internally without being available
through STORET or other  computer systems.  This  is an  inherent
concern that needs to be resolved so that all state generated tissue
data can be made available for general use.

-------
 The  parameters  for this  report  include  only  chemicals  with  Food  and
 Drug Administration action levels.   These  are  PCB's, DDT, dieldrin,
 mercury,  and occasionally chlordane,  and were  the  only chemicals
 that exceeded FDA levels.  The  FDA  levels  are  written  to  include
 only fillets.  However,  where appropriate, whole fish  samples  are
 also included for informational purposes only.

 The  Food  and Drug Administration has set the  above  toxicity limits
 for  the maximum protection of human health from the potential
 carcinogenic effects  of exposure through ingestion  of contaminated
 fish flesh.   In order to better inform the general  public about
 toxicity  problems in  fish, the  USEPA Great Lakes National Program
 Office  has  compiled a paper entitled "Summary of Great- Lakes Fish
Advisories  of the Great Lakes States (DeVault,  David S.  and G.P.  Lahvis).
 This paper  serves as  a general  health advisory and  cautions against
 the  consumption of certain fish species taken from  the Great Lakes
 and  their appended tributaries. The complete text  is shown as
• Appendix  1.

                            Illinois
The fish tissue data, presented for the State of Illinois represents
samples collected between October 1983 and November 1985,  and was
obtained from a STORET printout.

A total of 972 fish samples were analysed, of which 153 or
16 percent exceeded Food and Drug Administration action levels.
PCB's, DDT, and dieldrin were the chemicals in violation.

The Du Page and Des Plaines Rivers showed the highest percent of
FDA exceedences in the State (6?fr and 62%} with PCB's and DDT
being the chemicals of concern.

The greatest amount of fish tissue data available was from Lake
Springfield where 162 samples were analysed.  The chemicals of
concern were DDT and dieldrin, where numerous (51) values were
above FDA action levels.  This area should be considered for
further investigation.  Fish species were not listed.

A significant number of samples were also collected from Lake
Michigan in the areas of Foster Avenue, Waukegan Harbor, and
the Great Lakes Naval Station.  Both PCB and DDT values were
high and ranged from 12.10 mg/kg to 2.20 mg/kg for PCB's and
4.00 mg/kg to 0.55 mg/kg for DDT.  The FDA action levels are
2.00 mg/kg (PCB's) and 0.5 mg/kg (DDT).  Chinook salmon, lake
trout and carp were analysed.  Data were not available as to the
kind of sample (fillet, whole fish, etc.).

Crab Orchard Lake is another area of concern where PCB values
ranged from 11.00 mg/kg to 2.10 mg/kg.  Carp, large mouth bass
and channel catfish were the fish species analysed.  The Kaskaskia
River showed some elevated dieldrin values in carp and channel
catfish.

Table 1 and Figure 1 show counties and their associated water bodies
where violations occurred.  Table 2 and Figure 2 summarize the fish
tissue data, while Appendix 2 lists the sampling stations, sampling
date, FDA action level chemicals, and fish species.

A series of STORET maps showing river system sampling locations
and FDA parameter violations are enclosed, and are listed as
Figures 3, b, 5, and 6.

The data from Indiana represent samples collected from October 7,
1983 to October 10, 1984.  A total of 276 fish samples were
analysed, of which 17 or 6 percent exceeded Food and Drug Admin-
istration (FDA) action levels.

The highest chemical concentrations were PCB's which occurred in
fish taken from the Indianopolis Water Canal and St. Joseph River
at Darden Bridge, with 13-25 and 12.07 mg/kg respectively.  A
White River catfish at Williams, Indiana showed 7-25 mg/kg PCB's
(see Appendix 3)•

Fish sampling was conducted in the Grand Calumet River/Indiana
Harbor Canal area on October 4, 1984, but no data are available
in STORET.  Also, there are no data for calendar year 1985.

Figure 7 shows counties in Indiana where FDA violations occurred.
The number within the shaded area represents the number of
violations (also see Table 3)-

A series of STORET maps showing river system sampling locations
and FDA parameter violations are enclosed, and are listed as
Figures 8, 9, and 10.

Sampling for fish tissue data for this report occurred between
October 31, 1983 and' May 28,  1985 and was obtained from a
STORET printout.  A total of 31^ samples were analysed of which
52 or 1? percent exceeded Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
action levels.

Except for one mercury violation, DDT in the form of P,P* DDE
and P,P' DDD where the only other chemicals in violation.  PCB
data was not reported.

The Pine River in Midland County and the Clinton River in
Macomb County showed the highest percent of FDA action level
exceedences with 90 and 60 percent respectively.  The Tittaba-
wassee River showed nearly 50 percent.

Table b and Figure 11 show counties and associated water bodies
where FDA violations occurred.  Table 5 and Figure 12 summarize

The fish tissue data presented for the State of Minnesota
represents samples collected from June 1,  1983 to October 22,  1985.
Data for this report was taken from a 3TORET printout.   A total
of 931 samples were analysed, of which 66  or 7 percent  exceeded
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) action  levels.

Table 6 and Figure 13 show counties and associated water bodies
where FDA violations occurred.  Table ? and Figure 14 summarize
the fish tissue data.  Appendix 5 lists the sampling stations,
sampling date, FDA action level chemicals, and fish species.  PCB
values above the FDA levels of 2.00 mg/kg ranged from 2.00 mg/kg to
7.53 mg/kg.  The highest- concentrations were in fish collected from
the Mississippi River.  Mercury values above the FDA level of 1.00 mg/kg
ranged from 1.00 mg/kg to 2.48 mg/kg.  Mercury violations were in
fish taken from lakes throughout the State.

A series of STORET maps showing river system sampling locations
and FDA parameter viola-'ons are enclosed, and are listed as
Figures 15 and 16.

The fish tissue data presented for the State of Wisconsin repre-
sents samples collected from February 2k,  1983 through November 18,
1985, and was obtained from a computer printout courtesy of
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.  A total of 3185 fish
samples were analysed, of which 731 or "2-3% exceeded Pood and Drug
Administration (FDA) action levels.  A significant number of
samples (1015) were taken from Lake Michigan, Green Bay, and
Sturgeon Bay.  The remaining 2170; samples were collected from
various other lakes and streams throughout the State.

Table 8 and Figure 17 show counties and associated water bodies
where FDA violations occurred.  Table 9 gives a breakdown of data
from Wisconsin's major water bodies, which is also illustrated in
Figure 18.  Appendix 6 lists the sampling stations, sampling date,
FDA action level chemicals, and fish species.

 It is significant to note that some very high PCB values above
the recommended 2.00 mg/kg level were found.  The highest value
recorded was 160.00 mg/kg in a carp fillet taken from Cedar
Creek near Cedarburg.  Additional high PCE values were recorded
at various other locations throughout the State, with some exceeding
the FDA values by ten to twenty times or  greater  (see Appendix  6).

An interesting phenomenon occurred  in some of  the lake  trout
 samples. ' The  chemical  chlordane was found  to  be  in  violation  in
32 fish samples, and  of  these, 26 or  81 percent were  lake  trout.
This affinity to chlordane by lake  trout  over  other  fish  species
 is unexplained, and perhaps  should  be explored  in future  work.

 It appears  that there  could  be a problem  in the Kinnickinnic
River at Baran Park,  Chase Ave. and 27th  St.  in Milwaukee
Where 100 percent  of  the samples were  in  violation of FDA values.

-------
                                 39
PCB's ranged from 6.20 mg/kg to 52.00 rag/kg,  and DDT from O.?0 to
2.23 mg/kg.  Although the total number of samples were few (7),
some followup work needs to be considered for this area.

Mercury violations occurred in 3^ lakes throughout Wisconsin.
The values ranged from 1.00 to 2.50 mg/kg.  The FDA standard is
1.00 mg/kg.

Appendix 6 should be looked at carefully to identify additional
locations where elevated chemical values occur.

Conclusions

The intent of this report is to pull together fish tissue  data
from the STORET System and other available sources for the
purpose of providing, to the Region, a forum whereby fish  tissue
toxicity data can be brought together under one cover to be used
as another water quality management tool.  The future value of
this document will be enhanced as more complete and comprehensive
fish tissue data becomes available through various state-wide
programs.

A review of the problems and concerns found to exist within the
Region is discussed below.

   Illinois
      1.   The Du Page and Des Plaines Rivers showed the greatest
          number of FDA violations in the State,  with PCB's and
          DDT being the chemicals of concern.
      2.   A DDT and dieldrin problem exists in Lake Springfield.
          Further"investigation needs to be conducted in this area.
      3-   PCB and DDT values were high in samples taken from Lake
          Michigan in the areas of Foster Avenue, Waukegan Harbor,
          and Great Lakes Naval Station.
      4.   Crab Orchard Lake is also an area of concern where PCB
          values in some fish were elevated above recommended FDA
          limits.

   Indiana
      1.   The highest chemical concentrations were PCB's which
          occurred in fish -taken from the Indianapolis Water Canal,
          St. Joseph River at Darden Bridge, and the White River at
          Williams.

   Michigan
      1.  The Pine and Clinton Rivers showed the highest percent of
          FDA violations with 90 and 60 percent respectively.  The
          Tittabawassee River showed nearly 50 percent.  The chem-
          icals were DDT in the form of P.P1 DDE and P,Pf  DDD.

-------
Minnesota
   1.  PCB values were highest in fish collected from the Miss-
       issippi River.

   2.  Mercury violations were found in fish taken from various
       lakes throughout the State.

Wisconsin
   1.  Some very high PCB values above the recommended 2.00 mg/kg
       FDA level were found.  The highest value recorded was
       160.00 mg/kg in a carp fillet taken from Cedar Creek near
       Cedarburg.

   2.  The chemical chlordane was found to be in violation in
       32 fish samples, and of these, 26 or 81 percent were lake
       trout.  This is unexplained and perhaps should be explored
       further.

   3.  It appears that there could be a problem in the Kinnic-
       kinnic River at Baran Park, Chase Avenue, and 27th Street
       in Milwaukee where 100 percent of the samples were in
       violation of FDA values.  Although the total number of
       samples were few (7), some followup work needs to be
       considered for this area.

   4.  Mercury violations occurred in 3^ lakes throughout
       Wisconsin.

-------
Recommendations

   1.  It is recommended that this Fish Tissue Report continue to
       be produced on an annual basis as a means of assessing both
       short-term and long-term (monitoring) fish contaminant
       problems throughout the Region.

   2.  Ohio is the only State in Region V that is not actively
       participating in the National Monitoring and Wasteload
       Allocation Program for fish tissue monitoring.  Because of
       this, much valuable fish toxicity data are not available.
       It is recommended that Ohio's laboratory capabilities
       program for analysing organic chemicals be accelerated so
       that a comprehensive fish contaminant program can soon
       be brought on line.  This should be a high priority issue.

   3.  The bulk of the data for this report comes from the STORET
       System.  However, it is a well known fact that a significant
       amount of fish contaminant data, which is not part of  the
       National Ambient Monitoring Program, are being generated  by
       Region V States JT..d are stored in each States' own computer
       system.  It is recommended that a strong effort be made,  by
       working closely with each state agency, to extract these
       data for Region-wide as well as National use.

   4.  In the past,  Illinois has entered into STORET the type of
       fish sample analysed such as fillet, whole fish, etc.  For
       some reason this information was omitted from this year's
       printout.  It is recommended that Illinois continue to include
       this information.  Also, Illinois should identify the  kinds
       of fish that  are collected from Lake Springfield.  These
       data are missing from STORET.

current advisories.   Each state also provides  advice beyond that summar-
ized in this report.  Consumption advice  to young  women  and children,  for
example, is generally more conservative than advice  to adult males, but
varies between States.  The reader 1s  referred to  the Departments of
